Big moves came from small and mid-cap names tied to drilling, project studies and fresh funding. Healthcare, mining and takeover stocks all had a busy week, but not every strong announcement held its gains.

Banks, fund managers and lenders drove a busy week as buy-backs, dividends, capital raisings and one big profit warning pulled prices in opposite directions. Judo Bank slumped, while AI-linked fund launches and buy-back plans helped lift selected names.

A handful of small-cap names posted big weekly swings, but the bigger story was a flood of new studies, resource upgrades and funding deals across gold, rare earths and battery materials. Investors chased scale and near-term production, while several raisings and gap-down reopenings showed how quickly early enthusiasm can fade.

AI cardiology, cancer research and pharma expansion drove the biggest moves in healthcare stocks this week. Investors paid up for fresh funding and regulatory wins, while some raisings and weak trading updates kept pressure on others.

Small-cap tech trading was split between one huge contract-driven winner and a long list of capital raisings, AI launches and legal worries. Orcoda surged, ClearVue slumped, and Credit Clear fell hard as investors picked between real revenue, fresh funding and rising uncertainty.
